A r 3apffcomloining extensive knitted Aareas and'side areas offimperviou's material has the advantage of elasticity,pe`rmitting the cap to fit various sized heads and'to closely hule at its lower periphery the head, Vcheeks and neck of the wearer, for warmth, and fur-y therythe yside areas of impervious material,

The areas-'llterminate at the top po'rtioniof thecap. f

The back portionV of thecap is formed of a wide knitted'area v12 having angularly re latedrowsof knitting and the"vlower selvage neck of the wearer. The back section or area 12meets, at the top of the cap, the front areas 9 and 1l and is secured theretov by aline ofl 'stitching13.

Interposed between the side edges of the front areas 11 andthe backarea 1 2 are a pair Alof' opposed -sidev'head areas or sectionsglt formed of leather, leatheret'te, or asimilar impervious lmaterial: The sections 14"-are y'shaped as clearly shown in Figs. l and Gand terminate at their upper' portions near'the topfof, the cap while the lower portions of f saidsections are somewhat tapered or angu-v -lar.l AsY shown 1n Figq the inner surfaces 9G Y y vof the sections 14 may have a woolly or dow'nyj covering or lining,-as indicated'atplf), fork com 'fort andwarmth. The sections, 14 arefso'arj j lyv cover the ears of a wearer, and willjalso cover substantial portions o will ,complete-1 ers ears and ladjacent head portions, while Y the knitted areas of the cap give it elasticity and cause it to tightly hug the wearers head and face. Thus, in the present cap the desirable qualities inherent to both knitted and leather Caps are found, While the objectionable features of Caps formed 'solely lof one Jr the other of these materials are eliminated.

Y Also, the improved cap is simple and novel,`

is inexpensive to manufacture, Vand is Vwell adapted for the purposes set forth.

What I claim as my invention is:

A helmet shaped cap having knitted fabi Y Y ric front, top and rear portions, and interposed relatively narrow leather side portions extending from the lower periphery of the cap Atoward the top portion thereof and ter@ Y minating short of the apex of the cap.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature.V Y ARTHUR GOLDS'IEIN.
